Pho Lemongrass

http://www.pholemongrass.com/pho.htm

Pho Lemongrass in Brookline (Coolidge Corner) is a fabulous place to eat. Vietnamese food, reasonably priced and has great choices for vegetarians (though you should ask what kind of broth is used in the vegetarian soups).
It passed the test of my boyfriend's three late teen/twenty-something sons on their visit from England and (more recently) my vegetarian teen daughter.

Some of our favorites:
FRUITY SMOOTHIE
A house version or simply Strawberry, Raspberry,
Mango, Guava or Banana. 4.25
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE (Depending on the night. It is different every time. But when it's good, it's really good) 5.50
MESSY SALMON
Pan-seared salmon with green beans, carrots, onions, broccoli, zucchini, celery & tomato sauce. 12.95
And for vegetarians:
CURRY TOFU
Tofu sauteed with a vegetable medley of
peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli, summer squash
zucchini, string beans and snow peas in chef's
special curry sauce. Topped with roasted peanuts. 10.75

This restaurant is a family favorite. Mondays, especially in the fall and winter are Pho nights. The restaurant has Pho in the name, so it's got to be good, right? The broth is complex, with flavors of chicken, anise, and lemongrass. It warms the belly and with three sizes, the pho can satisfy any appetite!
